Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Management Grant (TMG) Program is a competitive discretionary grant opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS) designed to strengthen Tribal capacity to manage and operate health programs. Authorized under Sections 103(b)(2) and 103(e) of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638, as amended), the program supports Federally recognized Tribes and Tribally sanctioned Tribal organizations that want to assume responsibility for existing IHS programs, services, functions, and activities (PSFA) through a Title I contract, as well as Tribes and organizations that already operate under Title I contracts or Title V compacts and want to further build and improve their management systems. The program is listed under CFDA 93.228 (Indian Health Service Health Management Development Program) and follows federal grants administration rules under 45 CFR Part 75 and 45 CFR Part 92.
At its core, TMG funding is meant to help Tribes move toward greater self-determination in health program administration by investing in planning, infrastructure, and management capability. This includes preparing to take on IHS PSFAs, improving internal governance and administrative systems that support contracting or compacting, and addressing operational gaps that may limit effective oversight. The announcement also emphasizes that grants may be used to obtain technical assistance chosen by the Tribe or Tribal organization. That technical assistance can support program planning and evaluation, creation or improvement of management systems needed for contract management, and development of cost allocation plans used to establish indirect cost rates. In addition, the grants can help Tribes plan, design, and evaluate federal health programs that serve their communities, including related federal administrative functions, reinforcing the idea that the funding can be used both for capacity building and for strengthening the Tribe's ability to engage with and oversee federal health program delivery.
Eligibility is limited to Federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) that are Tribally sanctioned. The opportunity sets out specific funding priorities that influence how awards are targeted. Priority I is given to any Tribe that has received federal recognition within the past five years, specifically during or after March 2004, including Tribes that are restored, un-terminated, funded, or unfunded. Priority II applies to all other eligible Federally recognized Tribes or Tribally sanctioned Tribal organizations that submit either a competing continuation or a new application solely to address audit material weaknesses, signaling that IHS is using this program not only to expand self-governance readiness but also to help remedy significant financial management or compliance deficiencies.
From a funding and logistics standpoint, IHS expected to make about 25 awards, with an estimated total program funding of $2,529,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $50,000 (floor) to $70,000 (ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants that may not have flexible funds available. The funding instrument type is a grant, the activity category is health, and the opportunity is identified as HHS-2010-IHS-TMD-0001. The announcement was posted on May 20, 2009, with an application deadline of August 7, 2009, and a clear statement that late applications would not be accepted and no extensions would be provided.
For applicant support, the notice directs questions and access issues to the Division of Grants Operations and Grants Policy, with a point of contact listed as Tammy Bagley (phone 301-443-6528, email tammy.bagley@ihs.gov). Overall, the TMG Program functions as a targeted capacity-building tool to help Tribes and Tribal organizations develop the administrative, financial, and management foundations needed to successfully assume and operate IHS-related health programs under self-determination contracting and self-governance compacting frameworks, while also offering a pathway to resolve audit-related weaknesses that could undermine long-term program stability.
